Want to change Capital ship damage, where to start?

Hi all, I've been playing Sins for a few years and I really would like to change Capital ship/titan main weapon damage output. For example: It never sat right with me that all 4 of the Kol's incredibly powerful looking beam cannons focused on a single small frigate take sooo long to kill it. I want it to be a one-shot kind of deal.

Anyway, I looked through some of the pinned posts & am still not sure what tools I need to download. I've installed mods before, but never actually made one myself, so I'm as new as they come to this sort of thing.

It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to do, I just need some help getting pointed in the right direction..
